10. Be aware of the environment you are in. Inappropriate topics should not be discussed around players or managers. Be careful players do not hear remarks about player evaluation. Remember – many players come in and out of the coach’s office each day.
11. Discuss coaching differences in private.
12. Do not use profanity when coaching. There is no excuse for it. Criticize the action, not the person. Criticize the fumble or missed tackle, not the person.
13. Talk to a player individually after practice especially if you have been particularly hard on him.

24. Discontent Destroys: Remember…united we will be hard to beat…separated – we fall apart at the seams.
25. Rumors are deadly; don’t gossip.
26. When you hit the field - hustle. Coach Lombardi said: “Be fired with enthusiasm or you will be fired with enthusiasm”.

28. Be a model of what’s expected.
29. People skills – How you deal with people is just as important as how much you know about football.

31. When speaking to the team give two positives for every negative.
